Rural Community Development

These two Volunteers work in rural community development and health education in Ony Babre, Ivory Coast. Here the Volunteers work with African women from the Ony Babre village as they cut out dress patterns for the women to sew. When the girls first came to the village the men told them that their women couldn’t do anything and that they would never be able to learn to sew. These Volunteers taught the women in sixth months, and all of the men now want shirts and pants made.
